Important note about your credit rating
Many websites don't make it clear that filling in their mortgage
enquiry form means you might be credit checked.
This
can put you at risk.
UK
Mortgage lenders may assume an enquiry you have aleady
made to another lender means you were turned down - and
not that you are in fact carefully shopping around and
rejecting the bad deals.
The
best way around this significant problem is to ask an
independent mortgage adviser to make
anonymous enquiries for you.
Without
risking your credit score an adviser can find you the
best available mortgage deal. They will also know how
likely you are to be accepted by the lender if you decide
to make a formal application.
If
you would like a recommended adviser to check out the
best deals for you, anonymously, simply fill in the quick
form below.
"
Hmm..." You might think; "Won't I be
hounded by a salesman hungry for my business? "
This
is the most common question we hear from our users.
The
answer is no you won't.
Firstly
your enquiry is only passed to ONE person on a carefully
vetted list of independent advisers.
Secondly,
these mortgage advisers are professionals. Even
when the market is slow they are busy
people. There many people who need to move homes, or get
a remortgage and are looking for advice all the time.
Regardless of the state of the property market, life goes
on.
So the advisers don't have time to hassle people. It just
doesn't work like that. No one is gong to be forced into
taking out a mortgage unless they really need one.
The
advisers are very used to talking with people, perhaps
like yourself, who are only "dipping their toes"
into the water.
Many
people just want an initial quick chat and if they feel
comfortable will ask the advisor to contact them again
later - often in several weeks or months. As a professional,
the adviser will simply diarise this and call back at
the appropriate time. There is no obligation at all.
(In
the unlikely event that you ever feel at all "hassled"
by someone on our list please let us know immediately.
We have never heard of this. But if it happened we would
definitely want to know).
